METAIRIE *— After wrapping up their second week of organized team activities on Thursday, the New Orleans Saints began looking ahead to their full-squad minicamp that begins a three-day run Tuesday.

The Saints have now completed six of their 10 allotted OTAs, but will take a break from them next week to hold a veteran minicamp that consists of two practices each on Tuesday and Wednesday and a single Thursday workout.

Assistant head coach Joe Vitt, who is running the team in the absence of suspended coach Sean Payton, said the Saints have already installed most of their first- and second-down work and have introduced the sub packages that will be used on third down.

“We’ve gotten a lot done in the last six days,” Vitt said. “That being said, we are excited about going into minicamp next week.”

Each minicamp workout at the team’s training facility will be open to the public although practices affected by inclement weather may be moved to the indoor facility and closed to fans.

Practices are scheduled from 10:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m. and from 3 p.m.-4:30 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday with Thursday’s finale scheduled for 10:15 a.m.-noon. Gates will open 45 minutes before each practice begins.
